Route description
Route 143 begins at CR 561 and CR 726 in Winslow Township.[1] Known as Spring Garden Road, it proceeds north-northeast through wooded residential areas.[1][2] The route crosses Conrail Shared Assets Operations' Beesleys Point Secondary railroad line before intersecting Woodland Drive.[1] From this point, the road passes to the east of the Ancora Psychiatric Hospital and intersects Center Drive before coming to Lake Drive.
